Smooth Jazz Messy Marv?

Chasen Paper, 3 March, 2010

Messy Marv aka The Boy Boy Young Mess recently launched his clothing/entertainment lifestyle company’s “Scalen LLC” website which features the Fillmore stalwart lampin’ coast side in Miami Beach leaning like no tomorrow to a smooth jazz redux of his jams. This may be major left field for most people familiar to Messy’s “Mobb/Turf Hop” sound until after you consider what “Mr. Playing With My Nose” is known for. Then his Ocean Drive re-vamp doesn’t seem so strange. Of course there are the very dubious and un-original shirt designs that feature sayings like “I Get High On My Own Supply” and some extremely unflattering posters of himself cavorting with a broad (pictured below). Sure it’s vulgar but what else did you expect? If you’ve never been a fan of Messy you might be quick to write it off. Even I haven’t listened to a Mess album since “Bandannas, Tattoos & Tongue Rings” in 2005, because I didn’t see any change or growth in his style. But I love that album for what it was and I’ll still knock it to this day! Still there are parts of this site that are completely incongruous to the initial image of refined hood class initially portrayed. Maybe this current iteration of Mess will be a serious step to that change of becoming a more refined artist. Or maybe it wont and he will never grow out of that vulgar persona. Still, considering the artist that he is this shit was well executed and fits his character perfectly.

The thing about this front page is the city roll call. Miami, New York, California (his home state), London, Paris, Japan. Japan? The whole country, really? Wouldn’t it make more sense to say Tokyo since you said London & Paris?

Why would a person want to buy a poster of a girl in lingerie with Messy in it? You’d think if you wanted to make money he wouldn’t be in it and just a female with little to nothing on and put “Scalen LLC” on it. Oh well.
